The heavy rain of Sunday evening
raised the Octoraro creek so high
that two Of the piers of the bridge on
the Columbia and Port Deposit rail
road which cross the mouth of the
Octoraro, were washed away, leaving
the track suspended like hanging
bridge over the stream. Freight
had to be run round by Auondale
and down the Baltimore Central road.
destined for points south of the o.
toraro creek. The track was shured
up and temporary repairs made on
the bridge so as to permit trains to
pass over on Tuesday night. E s
1t was stated and published after
the unfortunate accident on the 4th
of July, by which Robert X. COLON
was drowned while bathing in Lees
mill pond, with two comrades, that
the party had been indulging too
freely. We have since been inform
ed that the men were strictly sober
and had not been drinking any ar
dent spirits. In justice to the. mem
DRY of the drowned man and his
friends it affords us a great deal of
pleasure to be able to make this cor.
rection.
On Tuesday next Woodlawn Camp
begins. The Camp promises to be
larger than usual this summer. Rev.
I Jewell will have charge Of. the
children, and has made preparations
to conduct the exercises so as to
make this feature of the Camp most
interesting. Friday will be assigned
to temperance work and styled
Temperance day." Crystal Lodge
will not attend this year as an asso.
citation. They consider their recep-
tion last year rather neglect than
an acknowledgement.
Rev. DR.. Qnigg preacher in charge
of Woodlawn Camp, commencing 9th
inst. has invited Rev. I. Jewell to
take charge of the children's meetings.
Mr.. j. has accepted. We are request

be made to make those meetings of
special interest to mind and soul

ed to be present. Bring your Bibles

The roads in the neighborhood of
Rising Sun had escaped the general
fate of roads in other portions of the
countyetill the heavy rain of Sunday
evening which quilted the hills max.
ing some parts passable for carriages
with difficulty. We hear of one man
who having some hauling to do, en-
ployed men and teams and put the
road in condition for travel, at his
own expense. II is probable that,
had the roads had the usual amount
of work put ON them this season. they
would be in about the same condi-
ton they are. The heavy rains we
have had. would have swept every
vestige of the loose dirt away which
it is customary to shovel in from the
sides. The tax payers consequently
have their money in the treasury in
place of in the creeks, and the public
anathamatize the Commissioners in
place of the Supervisors.
A tragedy occurred at Rawlings,
Allegheny county, this state, on July
18th, the principal actor in which

neighborhood. Henry Spencer, who
